Watch your children around the abandoned well

Don't ask me to tell if they slipped and fell

I'm just a salesman with my suitcase in hand

And the perfect plan that should pull me out



Another day, another night, another year

Another smile, another lie, another tear

This better not be all I got

I never thought I'd end up here



Jingle jangle that's the sound of coins

Spent on useless toys made for useless boys

I'm just a salesman with my suitcase in hand

There's a piece of land that I got my eye on



Another day, another night, another year

Another smile, another lie, another tear

This better not be all I got

I never thought I'd end up here



Friday night I'll raise my glass and say

"Tomorrow things will change! I can't afford to wait."

But by Monday morning my alarm clock knows

How this story goes and the ending's the same as the start



Another day, another night, another year

Another smile, another lie, another tear

This better not be all I got

I never thought I'd end up here



Another day, another night, another year

Another smile, another lie, another tear

This better not be all I got

I never thought I'd end up here



Watch your children around the abandoned well

Don't ask me to tell if they slipped and fell

I'm just a salesman with my suitcase in hand

And the perfect plan that I'm working on
